Family Forum / Parenting / Twins / August 2004

So they boys have basically been raised on formula: but after they turned
one year (corrected), I figured it was time to transition them to whole milk
(this was the end of June).  I started using whole milk to mix their cereal
(maybe a couple of tablespoons of milk a day) and adding ...

I need help.  In their early years my kids had speech therapy.  C still has
intervention thru school (nowadays it's more emotive -- to help him
understand things like how people react to what you say and how they can use
language to manipulate you).  BUT although Hanna is perfectly ...

i am looking for recommended sites or books for bulletin board ideas.
turns out the several idea books at the library just happen to be
missing. musta been good ones. i looked briefly at Borders but the one
book they had for preschool grades wasn't shelved where it was

Okay, maybe I am just one of those over protective parents that I actually used
to make fun of when I was teaching.  Does it seem unreasonable that I insist on
walking my 5 year old to her class room?  I mean she is only 5 after all in a
big huge school with some 600 kids wondering ...

I've been reading with interest the various threads by parents whose kids
are starting school this year.
I just got the September Issue of Today's Parent, and there was a *really*
neat idea in there that I thought I'd pass on, FWIW.  The idea was "Back to

Hi, I'm new here.  I was looking for support for preemies, but since I
couldn't find any from my newsgroup provider, I looked for multiples
instead.  I'm sure there are more than a few of you with multiples who had
them prematurely, am I right? <wink>

This may sound silly but I was just thinking WOW look at all these
mooms/dads of multiples we have made it. I think it came to mind when
reading about the twins being seperated in school. It has of course
been such an adjustment with the babies..but that's just it, it is an

Today was my first day back at work in over 4 years. It was just horrible. I
almost broke down in tears several times throughout the day. I loved being a
SAHM and I'm just having a hard time making the transition. I was at work for
11 hours today because I have so much to get done ...

Last night this guy and his girl got into a fight. Why? Because her
boyfriend was chatting with *MY* girlfriend. Now, most of those who know me
know that if there was any chance of this guy getting after my girl, I
would have been watching closely. There was no chance of that ...

Today I took Abby to day care alone.
Little J had a fever.
It is a one week summer program and there are a lot of kids that are bigger
than her that she doesn't know and a few kids from her regular day care.

Well we are back today from our first camping trip - yes a week away with
the tent and 10 month old twins!  Most people thought we were crazy but the
twins loved it, we had a thoroughly good time, the weather was perfect (not
often you can say that in the UK) and I'm now wondering ...

Happy Birthday, Kimberly's DH!
I hope you have a wonderful day!  :-)

Hey there
I was on this newsgroup about 3 yrs ago and I remember you.
You were pregnant with Holly. I didnt post much so you wouldnt remember me.You
gave me alot of really helpful info abt the kids...:)

The shock, joy of multiples    
Having twins means double the joy but also double — or more — the work
and complications, parents of twins say. They and doctors agree that a
well-informed family will be better prepared to deal with, and

Are you still selling your girls' clothes on e-bay?  I like to buy matching
clothes for my girls, and not too many people have that available on e-bay.
Can you let me know when or if you have more for sale?
Thank you,
